Broken Tape

Alternative rock with mid-tempo driving drums, gritty palm-muted guitars, and a bassline that walks under the verse; verse stays tight and tense, pre-chorus opens with ringing chords and stacked harmonies, chorus hits wide with crashing cymbals and a singalong hook. Lead vocal is close-mic and cracked in the verses, doubled on the chorus with raw gang shouts and short delay throws on the last word. Tape-stop swell into the bridge, then a final chorus with extra guitar noise and open-room drums. Dark, punchy mix with emotional bite., sad, alternative rock, rock
